Between The World and Me: Ta-Nehisi Coates

The writer’s advice to his son on the race politics in US. On what does it mean to be black in this country. The fear of fathers of their sons getting hurt by police that is hopelessly prejudiced, the streets where one wrong move can mean death, the ghettoing of an entire race. Coates writes with a visceral lucidity that brings these stark realities to the fore. It makes you think and take a second look at the continuous divide that is not going away anytime soon. Sadly, Coates doesn’t offer a solution. Even though his anger at decades of slavery and his bitterness towards ‘the dreamers’ is justified, at the end you are left looking for an answer.
